It aims to be a lightweight, yet fully functional replacement for the old Addon Bar.
Great for power users who have many addons installed, and especially for long toolbar items.
This also restores the status-bar area, so it works with extensions such as <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-bar-scientific-calculat/?src=external-the-addon-bar">Status-bar Scientific Calculator</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/version-bar/?src=external-the-addon-bar-restored">Version in Add-on bar</a>, and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/forecastfox-weather/?src=external-the-addon-bar-restored">Forecastfox Weather</a>.

This add-on restores squared tabs, the application button with application menu (known from Firefox for Windows), the add-on bar, bookmarks/history menu/sidebar buttons and other buttons. It moves star &amp; feed buttons into location bar, adds status bar element to the ui and allows many items to be movable. All features are fully optional. Some buttons have to be moved to toolbars manually using browsers 'customizing' mode.

<b>Squared tabs</b>
Default 'curved tabs' can be optionally replaced with classic 'squared tabs'.
Tabs on MacOSX look more like Windows tabs with MacOSX colors on purpose.
<b>Curved alternative tabs</b>
All tabs are curved and use colours known from squared tabs.
<b>Tabs 'not' on top</b>
Simulates 'tabs.onTop=false' setting and moves tabs below navigation toolbar. On MacOSX tabs also get a 'reversed appearance'.
<b>Application button / application menu settings</b>
<i>Application button on [Firefox] titlebar [Windows only]</i>
The titlebar button is fixed on titlebars left like on Firefox since version 4.0. It is enabled by default on Windows systems.
<i>Application button on toolbars</i>
On toolbars the button appears like a default toolbar button.
<i>Application button colours</i>
On titlebar and tabs toolbar the application button can be orange, blue (Aurora), black (Nightly), blue (Palemoon), red, green and gray in normal browsing mode and purple in private browsing mode like on previous Firefox versions.
<i>Note</i>
The new appmenu is not an exact copy of the old one, but looks as original as possible. The 'splitmenu' will not be restored and the appmenu popup/submenus also miss some non-replicable menuitems.
<b>Small navigation toolbar buttons</b>
Navigation toolbar buttons get alternative margins and paddings to simulate old 'small icon view'.
<b>Hide 'Navigation Toolbar'</b>
Hiding navigation toolbar might be interesting after content got moved to other toolbars.
<b>'Add-on Bar'</b>
A toolbar at the bottom of the window. All movable buttons and items can be placed on it. Add-on bar can be enabled/disabled using toolbars context menu (right-click on a toolbar) or using 'Ctrl + /' (Windows/Linux) btw. 'Cmd + /' (MacOSX).
<b>'Additional Toolbar'</b>
A toolbar between navigation toolbar and bookmarks toolbar. It can be enabled/disabled using toolbars context menu (right-click on a toolbar).
<b>Icons + text / text only mode</b>
Simulates old icons + text / text modes where text was displayed below toolbar buttons or button icons got hidden.
<b>Bookmarks menu button</b>
A default 'menu button' which opens the 'classic' bookmarks menu. Positioned on bookmarks toolbar the button also displays its label.
<b>Bookmarks and history sidebar buttons</b>
Buttons which toggle bookmarks and history sidebar.
<b>Back-forward, reload and stop buttons</b>
Browsers default buttons got merged with urlbar and cannot be moved to different toolbar positions or to different toolbars. CTR adds duplicates of these buttons to the customization palette.
<b>Combined reload-stop button</b>
Place reload button AFTER stop button and enable the corresponding option on CTRs preference window. Hovering the option on preference window to get extra information.
Toolbar: [something]...[stop-button][reload-button]...[something]
<b>Spaces, flexible spaces and separators</b>
These toolbar items appear in customizing mode and can be moved to toolbars like on previous Firefox versions.
<b>Windows - Linux - MacOSX</b>
This add-on was tested on Windows 7 (AeroBasic, AeroGlass, Classic) &amp; 8(.1) &amp; 10 &amp; XP (Classic, Luna-Blue/Silver/Olive, Zune, Royale), Linux Mint KDE, Ubuntu and MacOSX 10.8/10.9/10.10/10.11. On other Systems or non OS-default themes tab colors may look wrong. Bookmarks, history, stop, reload, back and forward toolbar buttons use default OS icons (Firefox Windows icons on Windows systems, Firefox Mac icons on MacOSX and Firefox Linux icons on Linux systems).
<b>Info, known 'issues', 'glitches', problems</b>
1) Application menus 'cut', 'copy' and 'paste' buttons do not always work like they should.
2) Switching between AeroGlass and AeroBasic on Windows 7/Vista can change application buttons position, if the menubar is disabled. Maximizing/restoring browsers main window or restarting Firefox resolves the problem. This glitch is caused by Microsoft Windows and titlebars behavior and not by this add-on.
3) Entering and leaving customizing mode 'disables' right-click menu items for bookmarks inside bookmarks menu button. A restart resolves this issue.
4) Tab colors on MacOSX fit to current ui instead of using Firefox 28 colors. This is intended and not a bug.
5) It is strongly recommended to remove Foxtab and Shareaholic before installing Firefox 29 or newer, because both add-ons break Firefox ui in Fx29+. Using Foxtab and/or Shareaholic with CTR causes even more errors, because CTR allows to move/remove more items than the default Firefox does.
If one of these add-ons has corrupted the ui, the add-ons manager has to be accessed via menubar (right-click on a toolbar -&gt; select menubar, Tools -&gt; add-ons) and Shareaholic and Foxtab have to be uninstalled and CTR has to be disabled. After a browser restart, CTR can be enabled again. After another restart "restore defaults" in customizing mode has to be hit once.

While some of the status bar items did find new homes, you may not have like where they ended up. There were also some nice innovations during the development of Firefox 4, such as putting progress/links/status in the location bar, which unfortunately didn't make it to the final release.
In Firefox 29, Mozilla decided it would rework the UI again, and ended up removing the Add-on Bar as well.
Status-4-Evar aims to bring back the Status Bar / Add-on Bar with the familiar classic status bar items, give you more control over the built-in Firefox features, and provide new alternatives.
The extension provides "<b>Status Text</b>", "<b>Progress Meter</b>", "<b>Download Status</b>", and "<b>Legacy Status Bar</b>" (Firefox 29+) items. These toolbar items can be moved wherever you want by customizing the toolbars. Behavior of the toolbar items, and other additional settings, can be controlled in the Status-4-Evar preferences.
This extension can also act as a replacement for the Fission extension. There are preferences to show links, status, and progress in the location bar instead of the toolbar items.

<b>Known Issues</b>
<ol><li><b>Firefox 4 - 28</b>: by default, there is a flexible space on the Add-on Bar. When you install S4E, this flexible space gets replaced with the Status Text toolbar item. When you disable/uninstall S4E, this toolbar item obviously goes away. To "fix" the toolbar, all you have to do is customize the toolbar and put a flexible space between the close button and everything else.</li></ol>
